Texas Southern University - Houston, Texas

Im a transfer student and this is not the ideal hbcu l thought TSU was. Im very disappointed that they fit all the negative stereotypes. If you want anything done, you have to do it in person. Emailing and calling will get you nowhere.
Most of The professors I’ve had so far really suck..
Always late, very entitled as far as running a classroom, lack of respect for students, very low effort in actually teaching a subject, etc..
Staff does not contact you when there's an update on anything (fafsa, va affairs, student accounting) so unless you are consistent with checking your status on anything, you'll never know whats going on. Along with that, a lot of the staff members (financial aid window in particular) have really bad attitudes that make you not even want to talk to them. They’re rude and inconsiderate which is extremely unprofessional and it makes the entire process unpleasant.

I've transferred so many times due to moving around texas that i refuse to transfer again.
Otherwise, I wouldnt stay enrolled here. On a brighter note, the campus is beautiful when the sun is out. If it’s raining, invest in rainboots because the tiger walk and parking lots are going to flood. Wish you luck!

Sent over my transcript and paid my admission fees. They told me that I need transcripts from 2 other schools i attended in the past. I told them I didn’t have credits to transfer but they told me i still needed it. Ok bet. I paid to have those transferred. I start getting notifications that my transcripts weren’t retrieved. I was supposed to start in the summer. I got countless notifications over and over. Still didn’t retrieve them. I called several times over, got numerous contacts, left numerous emails etc. Still to no avail. I called one last time and was told can you just come up here? WHAT? I have to work. You mean nothing will get done unless I go up there to kick a damn door down? I wanted to go to an HBCU but it looks like I have to explore other options on top of having to start way later than i anticipated. SUCKS!!!! Rewind to last year when my classmate and I wanted to start school again to further our degrees. We walked the campus and was sent from office to office to office. You can see people in their office but refuse to open the doors. No one seems to know what they are talking about so they send you to someone else that don’t know. Everyone was rude and unhelpful. We took a day off work and got absolutely NOTHING accomplished. Missed a day of work to play visit TSU offices. I wish there was an option to give 0 stars cause this school is a damn joke. I wouldn’t advise no one to waste their time. Just try another school until they can get their staff on the right track to actually help

Texas Southern University. *sigh*
I visited this school countless number times because my boyfriend and I are long distance. The faculty and students became family. It got to the point where people thought I went there for graduate school.

Everyone you meet at this school takes PRIDE in being a Tiger. Texas Southern University is a public Historical Black College University (HBCU). According to their website, "The university was established in 1927 as the Houston Colored Junior College. It developed through its private college phase as the four-year Houston Colored College. On March 3, 1947, the state declared this to be the first state university in Houston; it was renamed Texas State University for Negroes. In 1951, the name changed to Texas Southern University. "

Let's just say, HISTORIC.

Every time I would come visit, the school was always painted with the smiles of maroon and grey. Students have the opportunity to advance in their education with a bachelors, masters, and in Law.

Texas Southern University is a championship school. When I say that, I actually mean it. Their sports teams are well known in their SWAC Division for great reasons.

This charming HBCU school is home to a diverse amount of students that love to participate to make their school a better place. From their student council to Greek life (Black greek orgs, band, music, and multicultural), to specialized clubs, Texas Southern University has a lot to offer.

Note and advise to current students and future students:
Get involved. Do internships. Next work as much as possible and cherish what your school has to offer!

The woman in admissions was rude and unhelpful in regards to transferring over my information in order to attend college there. Wasted $50 sending transcripts and test scores just to receive no help …

Really wish I can give less stars! They refuse to ever answer the phone, the emails are presumptuous and aren’t clear, then they stop responding after you ask to recieve a call instead. Many system errors that caused me to sit out 2 semesters and now I have to pay student loan as I am STILL a student attending school there. Worst experience and if you have Big Goals and Dreams, DO NOT go here.

If you have a question or a concern, knowledgeable people are willing to assist you in the administrative department in Hannah Hall.

The experience at my university has been a true blessing. Love the people here, the positive environment and the staff. The campus is lively, full of history and a great future. TSU has taught me to appreciate your heritage and love your black roots. HBCU is something I would recommend for everyone.

Worst service I've ever dealt with. I had to go in person about 8 times just to register for one summer class. Nobody knows what they're doing. They just sent me from building to building, it almost seemed like none of them wanted to do any work. All of the people are on their desks just watching their tv shoes while answering your questions. Then the day the class started they changed the professor, and the only reason I was taking the class there was because of the professor. The swapped professor was horrible. So I decided to drop the class the 3rd day and for three days they kept 50%, $700. Also the "counselor" that was in the student service office in the technology building seemed to care more about you signing in on her sign in sheet as if she was trying to fill a quota rather than helping you. Then on top of that she would be gone on 2-3 hour lunch breaks. Overall horrible experience, I would not recommend to anyone.
